Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Just one? You're being modest to throw the other bidders off, right?

    One would make me happy. Two would make me happier and my wife less so. Best to keep expectations low as one could easily be blown out of the water when not offen available pieces come to market.

    The consigner has been a mentor to me so to snare a piece would be sweet.

    There will be a table at the show selling pants with very deep pockets for those buying.

    Fantastic coins and medals -- and only the barest hints of what else lurks. :)

    I had thought that collection was supposed to stay off the market for a generation or so...guess not.

    Just curious and uninformed about the major market players...No need for anyone to answer but I hope someone does:

    So, Martin Logies (is he a coin dealer?) is the curator (also sole buyer?) and has helped to assemble a fabulous collection (Cardinal Collection) for a group of unknown investors. Spending other peoples money on great coins while assembling a great collection sounds like a dream job.

    Wish I still got catalogs but SB cut me off when I switched to exonumia even after bidding on over 200 lots in the Ford sale :(

    Not for nothing, but do those coins really need a CAC?

    Very funny. :) I saw his picture, I listened to his video presentations. I'm a "shut-in." Wheelchair, get it. :wink:

    As I said, I don't know about the big world you guys deal in. I don't question his credentials (he mentored @Justacommeman) but I never heard of him so I was curious. He must be well-known if he is in Webster's. He is not in my dealer directory and I cannot lay my hands on the PNG dealer booklet to search it.

    There are a lot of important folks in this business. I don't know them but many I would recognize by a photo but not a name. So I asked. Is he a dealer? Is he the main buyer for the collection? As I said, it seems he has a wonderful job!

    oh, i know, believe me. I just bought some Pan-Pac medals and the first thing someone said to me was to send them in for slabbing. Kills me...

    But especially for those. They are already the finest known with impeccable pedigree in slabs. We really need JA to tell us that they are nice? And, if they fail to CAC are we supposed to decide they shouldn't be owned?

    It's one thing when it's a run of the mill coin in a run of the mill grade. But when it has that solid a provenance...seems like a waste of 20 bucks.

  • BroadstruckBroadstruck Posts: 30,497 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That's why Cardinal had them CACd cause Laura can't bid on anything without a sticker ;)

    I hear you. I guess it can't hurt. I know I like uniformity.

    I'll go one step further. Most of these Cardinal coins and and especially the medals in this offering don't even need grades. The pieces speak for themselves. To be honest I didn't even pay attention to the grades when I saw the email

    Silver center and store card for me

    The dollar caught my eye. I then noticed the reverse had a dark center that hides the details, which seem a bit weak on a non-relative scale.

    The colors and even the location and pattern of them on the obverse is great

    Lot's of great coins and medals in this auction. However, I think great collections should be bid in a group, much like Northern Lights Collection in Legend's auctions. I really do not like to take the time to review every listing to find the Cardinal coins.

    OINK

  • JustacommemanJustacommeman Posts: 22,852 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I hear what you are saying but this is a rather small group of Cardinals coins and medals being dispersed. They cross a few categories to boot. I guess they could have grouped most of them in the Americana section together.

    Thanks. So.....Is "Mr. L" a coin dealer who would take a table at a major show or does he just buy coins for people?

    Why all the secrecy? I'm not going to stalk the man! o:) A PM works too.
